Hope you like my coaster, I'm going to add these to my list even though they are not part of the baby bump project I want to count them because I'm so pleased. I've never before managed to follow a simple crochet pattern from beginning to end. Planning to do 6 in different colours but I thought I would post this so you could have a look. how pleased am I, goodness knows how I will carry on if I manage a blanket :rotfl:

Beautiful. They will look lovely in different colours. I'm like Mara and have never managed to master crochet. Now it's back in fashion I'd love to try again though I need another hobby like i need a hole in the head

Upcycled dress, I need to now make it a little bigger and longer, thinking of putting another band in the middle, like a stretchy orange one, the bottom bit I did a pleat in so can easily unpick and make it bigger. I am going to fix this.

OFF TOPIC

Cake Show tickets are still available - it's the show at Excel this week 12th to 14th. 2 free tickets which I won and can't now use so would like to pass them on to anyone who can use them. I don't want anything in return. Please pm me if you or someone you know can use them.

Julie67 so sorry to hear that what awful news, such a shame hugs to you all xx

Maria and the Imps your curtains are fab well done.

I "accidentally" looked at the cross stitch mags in Asda for the first time in years and The Gruffalo design is in it and who doesnt love the Gruffalo. I am going to have to do it for the boys room which I will be redecorating in summer so will have to amend my project list somehow. I think I have the material and I have 16 out of 20 of the threads so shouldnt cost me much to do but it looks fab. There is also a stunning large bright butterfly in there that might be on my future project lists :whistle:

Like Maria I also love Cross Stitcher magazine partly because it has projects that incorporate cross stitch - I know there are people who dislike it for that reason because they don't sew.

The Gruffalo would make a great design for your boys.

I made a start on the name design using the Superheroes alphabet. I cut out the superhero figures I wanted to use and then added them to the appropriate letters - it was a big like doing a jigsaw but I think it will work. I also did some more of my Shepherd's Bush stocking so quite pleased with what I achieved this weekend.

Julie So sorry to hear your news. How tragic to be taken at such a young age and so difficult for the family left behind.

Maria Love the curtains. You are going to complete a lot more than 13 projects this year

Ninno Love your Christmas sampler - I recognise the designer (Sue Hillis) as being the same as my Stitcher's 12 days of Christmas. I think yours will look better on white than on the pink shown on the original. These are instructions for adding photos from Flickr (copied from Cross Stitch Cafe thread - thanks to Chickywiggle)

How to share your pics from FLIKR:
1) Go to the picture you want to show us click the 'Share This' button on the top left of the picture, this will show you a number of options and the one you need is called 'Grab the HTML/BBCode', Tick the button for BBCode and it'll convert the code to what you need.
2) Copy the text in the box and paste it into a new post on MSE and it should have everything you need to insert the image into your post. You can check this by clicking Preview Message.

Morning all,

Love the dress, and the model:D

So after showing off with my coasters I tried to start a cardigan for baby bump last night but after 17 attempts gave up:eek: I think I was probably tired so shall have another go today. I need to be totally concentrating, it's not coming easy at all. I can do coasters though lol get your orders in now:rotfl:
Off for a root filling this morning so I think I deserve to sit under the quilt for the rest of the day on the couch practicing:D

Thanks flower - I'll keep trying. At the moment I just get a red cross.



This thread has motivated me to keep going with the sampler - this evening should see the end of the cross stitching and just leave me with the outlining to do.
